Mini Nutella Cheesecake

Nutella cheesecake—one of the most iconic and popular Nigella Lawson’s recipe—is one of the most popular recipes on Rasa Malaysia. Ever since my contributor CP Choong shared her Nutella Cheesecake recipe here, we have gotten so many comments on successful attempts and questions about the recipe. One of the questions is whether or not we can adapt the recipe into a mini-sized Nutella Cheesecake, especially made for special occasions like parties, etc. So I asked my contributor to adapt the recipe and make it into mini Nutella Cheesecake, and I am so glad that she did. Just look at these gorgeous food porn, don’t you just want to eat them right off the monitor?

My 3-year old has recently acquired a liking of Nutella and this makes a very toddler (especially picky eater) friendly dessert. Nutella is choked full of hazelnut which is great, and cheese is generally nutritious for kids. Of course, you don’t feed your kids this type of dessert every day but once in a while, I think it’s fine. You can feel free to adjust the level of sugar to your liking so it’s not overly sweet as we all know too much sugar kills. Anyway, this mini Nutella Cheesecake is utterly sinful, delicious, and decadent. I only wished that my contributor lives closer so I could taste her creations. However, this is a super easy recipe to make because there is no baking involved, you just mix all the ingredients together, chill them and you have the most delicious cheesecake EVER!

It depresses me so much to see you raving Nutella. It has to be one of the single GROSSest products on the market. Nothing but sugar sugar sugar cornsyrup, fake shortening,cornsyrup, chemicals. What is so difficult about making REAL hazelnut paste- grinding toasted hazelnuts to a paste and adding sugar to taste? So much for a healthier next generation……

what’s wrong with raving Nutella?not everyone has the time and passion like you to make REAL hazelnut paste. The trick here is to consume it moderately. Then it wouldnt have to be the single GROSSest product you deem so.

I’m making these for a school project and was wondering if 2 1/2 hours would be enough time for the mini nutella cheescakes to set completely? Also are you able to remove them easily without cupcake liners?

Let me start by saying that if you follow the above recipe, you will make 24 mini’s and 12 regualr sized (muffin trays).

I would also like to say that following and weighing the measurements out EXACTLY, there was hardly enough butter in the graham crackers to form a solid base. After 18hrs of being in the fridge – when I picked them up, the crust crumbled.

Lastly, too much nutella in this recipe. the creamcheese/nutella mixture never got hard when cooled.

Summary: use less Nutella, use MORE butter in the graham crackers (I would even bake them next time), and downsize the entire recipe, unless you’re throwing a party!

agree with rose. tried the same receipe out and found that there was enough butter to make the base stay together.. thankfully i have made cheesecake before so i added more butter. however, likewise, I followed the instructions and had way too much Nutella. after leaving in the fridge for more than 6 hours, my cheesecake looked more like a mousse

Today me and a friend made this recipe and it was easy and absolutely delicious, this is probably my favorite dessert now!
I had a problem with the base because the recipe says to use 10 oz of cookies and 5 tablespoons of butter, turned out that it was too much cookies and not so much butter so the base wasn’t hard.
